بأبيِّ مجدَّرَةٌ محبَّبةٌ إلى

بأبيِّ مجدَّرَةٌ محبَّبةٌ إلى

كلِّ الورى ضَمَّنْتُ فيها مبدعا

كلِّ الورى ضَمَّنْتُ فيها مبدعا

May my father be ransom for mujaddara, beloved by

With Majaddara I have dedicated an ode

all humankind; I have included a wondrous verse about it:

That is beloved to all creation

فكأنَّ وجهَكِ فوقَهُ جُدَريُّهُ

فكأنَّ وجهَكِ فوقَهُ جُدَريُّهُ

ذَهَبٌ بِسِمْطَيْ لؤلؤٍ قَدْ رُصِّعا

ذَهَبٌ بِسِمْطَيْ لؤلؤٍ قَدْ رُصِّعا

So it is as though your face, with its pockmarks upon it,

As though your face upon it were a drape

were gold inlaid with two strands of pearls.

Of gold embroidered with pearls of great elation
